    A spiral galaxy is a certain kind of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae and, as such, forms part of the Hubble sequence. Spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disc containing stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge.(Sloan) Spiral galaxies resemble spiraling pinwheels, nearly 77% of space consists of spiral galaxies. Though the stars and other visible material contained in such a galaxy lie mostly on a plane, the majority of mass in spiral galaxies exists in a roughly spherical halo of dark matter that extends beyond the visible component, as demonstrated by the universal rotation curve concept. In the Hubble classification scheme: Spiral galaxies…

    On March 13, 1781, William Herschel was looking at the sky through one of his telescopes that he had built himself, looking for anything interesting, when he noticed something that wasn’t a star and he thought it was a comet. A year later astronomer A.J. Lexell calculated its path and discovered that it was actually a planet. Herschel wanted to name it after the king, but other astronomers wanted to name it after Herschel, which it was for a time until they changed it to Uranus after the sky-god of Greek mythology. Astronomers made predictions about the movement of Uranus, but after a few years, they saw that it wasn’t moving in the exact way that they thought it would. The way planets move is affected by the pull of other planets.…

    He and his wife, Carolyn Shoemaker, began searching for asteroids and comets using the Schmidt telescope located at the Palomar Observatory in California. Together they found 32 comets and over 800 asteroids (Hughes, 2001). Working with a colleague named David Levy they found their most important discovery in the sky, a comet later named “Shoemaker-Levy 9.” This comet had been gravitationally shifted by the planet Jupiter and was set to impact the gas giant on the 16th of July, 1994 (Kerr, 1994). This would be the first time an impact would be seen in real time and many scientists believed there wouldn’t be much of a show.…
